On our way north

We are finally on our way up to the Highlands of Scotland, Fort William and Ben Nevis - ready to start the Challenge at 7am tomorrow morning. We still have a long drive ahead (apparently it's good practice for the challenge proper), but I wanted to let you know that the match-funding that effectively doubles all donations made through In2Out's Big Give web page during the next 7 days is now LIVE.
And before the inevitable craziness of tomorrow starts it's good to remember why we are doing this.
It's for young men like Ben who shared, "I know I don't say it a lot, but I'm so grateful to have you by my side. You're a good man and the person I'm starting to become is partly because of you. So all I want to say is thankyou. It means a lot everything you have done and are continuing to do for me".
Sometimes the first step of asking for help is the hardest. But we shouldn't ever underestimate how much courage and determination it takes to keep going, especially when the slope gets steeper, the path underfoot rockier, the weather wilder and the excitement and energy of the start gives way to the realisation that there is still A LONG WAY TO GO!
Praying that you have a good night's rest and ready for tomorrow's challenge. I know that you can do it. Take care and enjoy as much of the scenery as you can take in. I've only ever been about a third of the way up Ben Nevis (and that would have been about 47 years ago) but you guys will no doubt reach the summit!👍
I have no doubt that you, family and friends will achieve your goal. However, you might prefer to do it in the warmth around Alfaix 🇪🇸
Hope you have had a safe journey to Scotland. Praying for a good night's sleep for you all and you wake refreshed and raring to go in the morning. May God guide your steps 🙏🙏
Praying for safe travelling today followed by a good sleep & then amazing accomplishments tomorrow 🙏🙏
You will be amazing💪
What an amazing commitment in support of young people. I hope and pray that the elements are in your favour.
BUT don't take any unnecessary risks just to meet the 24 hour target; 'The 3 Peaks' will be a huge achievement however long it takes. Even 2.5 Peaks would do!!!!!
